Our Showroom

Our showroom is open weekdays and has a range of our instruments on display for you to try out and compare. We can bring a wider selection through from the warehouse, but need a bit of notice for this so that we don't keep you waiting when you arrive.

Inspired by traditional Mexican guiros, this fantastic instrument creates a wonderful ratchet like, scraping sound with its hollow body resonating chamber. The instrument also features decorative detailing and a glossy paintjob evocative of the Mexican flag

The guiro, used in cumbia and salsa music is the most famous scraper, whether in the original form of a long gourd with parallel notches played with a stick (or pua), or modern versions in wood, plastic, metal and fibreglass

Other scrapers include various frog, crocodile, bird or fish shaped woodblocks with ridged surfaces, the washboard played in cajun and zydeco music and the Brazilian reco reco
